I would argue that naivete is using "both sides do it" to obfuscate from the fact that the MSDNC does it to the right the vast majority of the time. I'm sure you can go find some times Fox did it, and say "it's the same!"

I'm generally the same, but my wife has mentioned that she wants to stream election coverage from the Honestly podcast/Free Press. I've pimped their articles and pods here many times. They are pretty down the middle, so the MSDNC thinks they are ultra MAGA. BTW, when I say "MSDNC," I don't mean MSNBC. I mean the entire mainstream media which is an apparatchik to the DNC.

I guess you chose not to heed my advice.

If Trump wins, there is a decent chance that Alito and/or Thomas retire (they are both in their 70s IIRC), and Trump could assign one or two shiny new conservative justices.

Why do you conclude this? Factcheck is not impartial, they get a leans left from allsides. And they don't mention the PES, which would seem like a fact worth including in their analysis.

Sorry, i meant the part i quoted. The PES.

Your link seems to differ from the census' own post-enumeration survey. I'm shocked that an objective site like factcheck would find a site which agrees with its partisan leanings. Also, if illegal aliens count towards electors, that is pathetic.

Sorry I missed this initially. The answer to your first two questions is in the first paragraph of the link I provided.

Interesting, thanks. This seems like the crux: I'm not a lawyer, but the NPR being a hack Leftist propaganda media outlet that my tax dollars subsidize, I'd say their interpretation of the amendment is... lacking. https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/14th-amendment#:~:text=No State shall make or,Section 2. It's clear from Section 1 that the "whole number of persons" in section two refers to slaves, not illegal immigrants. That being said, if illegal immigrants count in the census, that is pretty close to letting them vote, given our electoral college system.

A hack HuffPost article which references another HuffPost article about astrologers picking Kamala? Perhaps your brain is in retrograde, Rusty.

Holy fock! That was amazing; it knocked out everyone in the vicinity as well. Very tragic. I think back to some stupid things I've done in lightning storms, particularly staying on the golf course longer than a rational person should.

Never go full ratard.

Happens to the Left all the time? The MSDNC does this to the Right all the time.

I misspoke with "constituents," I should have said "representatives." With that in mind, are you saying that there should be more representatives, or that the electoral process should be replaced with a popular vote?

I'm not following; are you saying there should be more constituents overall, because of the huge population increase since the founding?

I heard today that the 2020 census overcounted primarily blue states, and undercounted red states. This significantly impacted the number of electors in these states -- a 5 seat swing in favor of Democrats. The following is from a letter from the House Oversight Committee to the Director of the Census in September this year. Yeah, it's James Comer, so ad hominem away. But if this is true, and Trump loses in a close election... the MSM still won't report it. And it might be an example of true cheating, brushed under the rug while people waste their time on Dominion vote counts. I expect the usual folks here to respond with some sort of "election denier already!" tripe, but I thought this was interesting. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Letter-to-Census-091824.pdf

It's not a prize, it's a salary!

Umm... no. I posted the entire article. It wasn't very long. You may be correct that I underestimate the hatred for him. Four years ago I chatted with my brother about him and the 2020 election. He's not a political wonk like all of us here, and while he leans conservative, he was leaning towards Biden, because (I didn't say this to him) he basically got any info he had from MSM, which is to say, mostly all anti-Trump. Fast forward to a week ago, out of nowhere he sent me a scathing text which basically called Trump a nazi fascist antichrist. I was like, whoa! Then I was like, wait, I'm pretty sure he knows my position on this. I provided some polite rebuttals to his concerns, in a way which respectfully implied that he had drunk so much blue koolaid that his looked like a smurf (OK, I was subtler than that), and he eventually got the message. Anyway, back in 2004 I predicted here that Bush would beat Kerry due to the "my mom" effect. My mom voted Dem her entire life (PA union family), but to my surprise, voted for Bush because she said "we're at war, and Kerry seems weak." You can argue the truth of that, but I thought hmm, I bet a lot of people feel this way. I'm a little askeered that I may have witnessed the "my bro" effect. For him to have gone from politically ambivalent to TDS Defcon 1 tells me that the 24/7 MSM bashing of Trump had a profound effect, on him anyway. I mean shiot, look at Rusty. Guess we'll see in the days ahead.

Interestingly, Axios says that Kamala is a vacuous hole where policies go to die. She has espoused a bunch of far left progressive proposals in the past, but when asked now, she says "no comment." So this belief that she will govern from the center is wishful thinking with no basis in her beliefs at any point in her life. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/03/kamala-harris-no-comment-strategy?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

You never said 2% that I could see. Regardless, I was providing data to support whoever upthread said that it about nails the black population of NH. So your mentioning of "they only talked to 12" makes no sense, other than to corroborate that they got a good distribution of black registered voters, which I don't think was your point. You should have just stuck to "it was too small".

12 out of 622 is 2%, not .06% According to Wiki, NH was 1.5% black in the 2020 census. I'd say it's probably about 2% in 2024, given the growth. Racial composition 1990[54] 2000[55] 2010[50] 2020[49] White 98.0% 96.0% 93.9% 88.3% Black or African American 0.6% 0.7% 1.1% 1.5% American Indian and Alaska Native 0.2% 0.2% 0.2% 0.2% Asian 0.8% 1.3% 2.2% 2.6% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander – – 0.0% 0.0% Other race 0.3% 0.6% 0.9% 1.7% Two or more races – 1.1% 1.6% 5.6% Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 1.0% 1.7% 2.8% 4.3%

Perhaps. But if an opponent ends up in a coma from one of the guy's spikes, they may face a real lawsuit.

I didn't realize that Trump had done all of that for the gay community.

Thanks for posting. I had heard about this, but hadn't read a detailed report. That assistant AD Alexander seems like a real piece of work.

Confirmation? I guess he could confirm. To me, it seems pretty clear that it's him, and he hasn't refuted it.
